Maria Sharapova suing for crotch shot


In TV commercials for her sponsor Canon, Maria Sharapova encourages viewers to "make every shot a power shot."

This probably isn't what she meant.

The head of a Japanese ad agency secretly snapped crotch shots of the tennis icon as she posed for a Canon ad in 2005, according to a federal lawsuit, the New York Daily News reported on its Web site.

Toyo Shigeta, CEO of Dentsu Holdings, snapped the pictures to satisfy his obsession with photographing women's private parts, according to the suit filed by Dentsu's fired former creative director, Steve Biegel.

"Taking closeup crotch shots of women is a personal obsession of defendant Shigeta," Biegel claims in his suit.

Biegel, 44, said the company fired him after he complained about Shigeta's propensity for pornographic picture-taking.

Biegel also alleges that he was forced to go to a bathhouse and a Prague brothel, where Shigeta urged the married Biegel to have sex with a prostitute.
And the alleged shot of Sharapova's private area? It's attached to Biegel's complaint as Exhibit B.
